I have the same motherboard and the same mouse, currently using windows XP.
I also have the same problem.

Sometimes the mouse will give a quick flash immediately as the machine powers up, then the bios kicks in and nothing, until you unplug/replug etc.
The mouse does not power up whether from a reset, hard boot or reboot.

Gigabyte have limited driver/bios updates.
Alvino77 reckons it works ok through a usb hub, and I've read elsewhere that it works through a Usb>Ps2 connector, and that the fault is with certain mobo's that don't support certain usb boards.

Here is how I did it.
Downloaded the firmware updater 1.07.
Ran the program and it asks you to plug the mouse in bootloader mode (unplug, hold down left/middle/right mouse buttons and plug back in).
Your pc will then detect the mouse as a "freescale JM60 bootloader", this is the bit that was tricky.
1) I installed the freescale driver, then updated the firmware through the razer software, rebooted, this did not work.
Unplugged, plugged back in (with 3 buttons held down), machine detected freescale bootloader again asking for driver files.
2) Installed the freescale driver by pointing it to the c:\program files\razer\naga\firmware updater\bootloader\ directory, it appeared to install fine, updated the mouse, rebooted, still did not work.

3) I then unplugged the mouse, held down the 3 mouse buttons and plugged back in (machine detected freescale bootloader again asking for driver files), installed the freescale drivers, using the keyboard I went to device manager and updated the freescale bootloader driver (from c:\program files\razer\naga\firmware updater\bootloader\), installed ok.
I then unplugged the mouse, held down the 3 buttons, plugged back in and machine auto installed the freescale bootloader driver automatically this time without asking for the driver files.
Installed the firmware, rebooted, mouse is now detected by windows on boot up.
Still does not power up on boot, but at least it's working without having to swap ports.

good that you get it working. lucky i got it to work on the 1st try, only did 1 x 3 simultaneous click. and update and it's fixed!

Yeah I think our differences will be down to me using XP and you using windows 7.
In XP after 3 attempts at getting windows to install and remember the device tna, I had to go into device manager and force install the driver through driver updates.
Where as windows 7 probably bypasses this issue, by actually installing the freescale driver and remembering it.
